Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Individual activities or self-selected activities are satisfactory.
B Incorrect. Solitude is satisfactory.
C Incorrect. Midlife patterns are no longer relevant to contentment.
D Correct. In Tornstam's theory, aging offers the potential for gerotranscendence, a culmination of an individual's life, wisdom, and spiritual growth that allows the older adult to live contentedly with and without social activities. An older adult spends more time on meditation and solitude, and less time on materialism and self-consciousness about body image.

Answer to Question 2

Fluent aphasia
Fluent aphasia is also known as sensory, posterior, or Wernicke aphasia. The person speaks easily with many long runs of words, but the content does not make sense. He or she has problems finding the correct word and often substitutes an incorrect word. The speech sounds are similar to what is sometimes referred to as jabberwocky, with unrelated words strung together or syl-lables repeated.
